About The Event
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look into how the Cleveland Museum of Art cares for our world-renowned collection when not on view. Did you know that nearly 94% of our encyclopedic collection is in storage? Alyssa Morasco, director of collections management, and Sharon Robinson, collections manager, shed some light on the many activities that go into caring for our collection once an artwork is deinstalled from our galleries, including highlighting the physical art movement, archival rehousing, location tracking, specialized storage equipment, and more.
